Aloha Lending Services provided us an outstanding and exceptional experience for our recent refinancing. Shannon and her team are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and immediately responded to any questions we had. I highly recommend using Aloha Lending Services for your next home purchase or refinancing for everyone on Oahu. read more

Shannon and the team made refinancing a breeze for us! All we had to do was provide the necessary paperwork (via email--so simple!) and wait for a closing date. Shannon was able to lock in a super low interest rate, saving us hundreds of dollars a month on our mortgage. When it came time to close, we met up with the mobile notary, signed our docs, and that was it! Definitely recommend working with Aloha Lending :) read more

Shannon and her team are super heroes. We initially called them to assist us with refinancing our rental unit. But Shannon was able to work her magic and we were also given the opportunity to refinance our home, allowing us to put money in our pockets. Shannon and her team responded to our calls and emails within 24 hours and answered our questions. They handled all the leg work. We only lifted our fingers when it came to signing the closing documents. Mahalo Shannon and your team for your hard work, seamless transactions, and for helping us jump start our way to financial freedom. Wishing you and your business prosperity. Da Marianos read more

Shannon and Melanie from Aloha Lending are superior in what they do. Their customer service is top notch and they are very detailed in what they do, which is very important when it comes to this type of service. They are always so friendly to work with and have helped me out a ton when I needed assistance with finding the best option for my family and I, TWICE! I look forward to working with them again in the future. I highly recommend them for any loan services that you may need. Mahalo Aloha Lending! read more

Aloha Lending services really live up to their yelp reviews! I came across this amazing company on yelp earlier this year. We were immediately contacted and taken care of by Lennie. Lennie is amazing! First off we both work full time And Lennie adjusted his schedule to accommodate us on the weekends and late nights. We also have a 4 year old son and he was always cool about our son coming to our meetings. He really took them time to educate my husband and I on the whole process he broke down the entire THING (mortgage loan) to us. Lennie always contacted us via text, phone, and email. He always reached out or returned our phone calls/texts/emails right away. We've had so many questions and Lennie was always answering them. We purchased our first home this past week and during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was stressful and we didn't know what to expect, but Lennie took care of us. He would call us to update us on any changes or just to even check up on us which we really appreciated. It was a long process and The cornavirus didn't help out, but Lennie was so patient and supportive on the entire loan/home purchase. Lennie is also very personable and really ratifies the Hawai'i hospitality. My husband and I really appreciated his humor especially during such a stressful time lol. We are really thankful for him and we will be definitely returning to him and Aloha Lending Services when it is time to refinance or upgrade! *P.S. he also referred us to amazing realtors Ralph and Justin Tappara from century 21 Homefinders of Hawai'i* read more

GREAT COMPANY! Shannon and her team were fantastic. Such a great experience to be able to close both HELOC and mortgage with them. They guide us throughout the entire process, and Shannon(owner) is so smart and knowledgeable. She amazed me with her professionalism. Despite on vacation, she was able to answer emails just to be on top of everything. We were able to close sooner than expected and our property was even a short sale. Keep up the good work and looking forward to doing another transaction with you guys in the future! read more

When we discussed doing another refinance, we contacted Aloha Lending because they were awesome with our initial purchase, as well as a previous refi. They didn't disappoint this time either. Working with Shannon and Melanie was a pleasure, they are some of the nicest and most professional people we know. We stand by them and they will be our #1 choice in the future. read more

Awesome company! Shannon is the most amazing loan officer I ever worked with. Couldn't ask for better service. Answered and responded to all my questions very quickly. Her assistants were also very helpful, and answered everything I needed to know. read more

I didn't see 10 stars so I left 5! Shannon as always has done it again! Super satisfied with everything from the get go until the end result. From start to finish Shannon and her great assistants were there to take my info, answer my questions and keep me worry free. Got me a great rate with lower payments...exactly what I wanted. If you need it done right and efficient what are you waiting for? Give her a call! read more

We highly recommend Shannon and her team at Aloha Lending Services!! We were first-time homebuyers, and they made the mortgage process very simple. Since we went with Shannon's husband (Raphael Taparra with Century 21) for the realtor side, they worked together to make the entire homebuying process effortless for us. We really felt that everyone at Aloha Lending worked hard to provide us with quick and quality service. They treated us like a valued customer, and were very quick to respond to any questions we had. The team was on top of the whole process to ensure that our loan went through smoothly. We work in town during the week, so Shannon was extremely accommodating by allowing us to come in to sign papers on the weekend. When it came time to close on the loan, Shannon made sure that we understood everything. Being first-time homebuyers, we were not very knowledgable about the loan process, but she guided us through all of the paperwork and costs. She and her team were all very very sweet!!! Thank you to everyone at Aloha Lending Services! read more

Shannon and Lindsay made my first home buying experience very easy. They are very responsive and don't mind explaining the answers to all the series of questions I had. I recommend using them, the really care about their clients and are very thorough. Mahalo Shannon, Lindsay and Team! Can't wait to work with you again. read more

This is our second time working with Shannon and her team. Our first visit with her was purchasing our very first home. The second time was to refinance. Both visits were great and Shannon was very helpful and she help walked us through the process and what we needed to do. She was very patient, and Shannon and her team made the process very easy and smooth. I recommend anyone who's looking to buy a home or to refinance to visit Aloha Lending. Their work is very exceptional. Thank you Shannon and team!! Hope to work with you guys again in the near future ;) read more

Candy is amazing to work with and made our refinance easy. I highly recommend Aloha Lending Services!

We couldn't be happier with the service, dedication and knowledge of Aloha lending services. Shannon was awesome, she answered any questions/concerns that we had and she was always available. Shannon made the loan process very easy, everything went very smooth. This was our first time buying a home and it was a little intimidating at first, especially in today's sellers market. Shannon and the rest of team Taparra made the whole process very easy. We truly felt they had our best interests at heart and ultimately helped us get our dream home. Your honestly not going to get the level of service that you will get with Aloha Lending Services anywhere else. They're great people and a great family altogether. Amy and I truly thank you for everything and we can't recommend team Taparra enough! read more

A great big MAHALO, to Shannon, Lindsay and the whole team, for all you've done to support, assist and be patient with us throughout this huge home-buying process, made possible by all your kokua! We especially appreciate Shannon's wisdom and willingness to so graciously answer calls, texts and emails, even during your vacations, across time-zones, weekends, late-nights... Thank you, Shannon, for being kind and always helping us to stay positive. You have such a gift of positivity, competence and wisdom, which helped us stay calm and carry on! We are very grateful and give Aloha Lending Services our highest recommendations, to all our family and friends. read more

As always, great customer service and lots of ALOHA all around! Although COVID19 restricted us from physically showing ALOHA, it was definitely felt with how they accommodated and took care of us from start to finish. Absolutely love working with Shannon, Melanie, Rachelle, Shanel and everyone else who helped us over the years. Highly recommend them for all of your refinancing needs. Mucho Mahalo for everything, until next time. read more

Before you read my review, I must encourage you to call Aloha Lending Services as I highly recommend them. Now here's my review. This was our second opportunity using Aloha Lending Services. In our opinion, they are the BEST in their field and no one should risk taking a chance using any other service. Shannon ran through all the options and found us the best lender. She capitalized on the perfect approach to work on our advantage. Shannon, Lindsey and the team are truly AMAZING !! They were on top of every details and deadlines. In the future, Aloha Lending Services is the only company our family will use. L. Maeshiro read more

We just closed on our mortgage today April 4, 2018. Shannon was such an awesome person to work with in addressing our mortgage needs. We were really lucky to be referred to her by a really good friend. She took the time to truly understand our situation and she went above and beyond in making the process so much painless. We will definitely see her again when we're ready to purchase another property. We will definitely recommend her if you are a first time home buyer or looking to purchase a second home. read more

Mahalo nui to Aloha Lending Services - Shannon Taparra and her wonderful, supportive staff! Unless you are a financing whiz, going through a refinance is quite intimidating. Shannon and her staff will walk side-by-side with you through to completion. Refinancing through COVID-19 pandemic was interesting to say the least, but they handled everything professionally, safely, and kept us informed each step of the way. We have made a few recommendations to family and friends to go to Aloha Lending Services. None of them were disappointed. We have known Shannon for 13 years. Aloha Lending Services has looked after us and helped us to reach our financial goals. We would definitely go with them again. Don't bother going anywhere else.

Shannon and the Gals at Aloha Lending are always on top of their game, always professional and get the job done! Mahalo Aloha Lending Services!!! read more

First Time Homebuyers. We closed on our mortgage at the end of March. My wife and I can't say enough great things about Justin Akuna and Aloha Lending Services. I spent a lot of time visiting with various banks (a few of the big boys and a few credit unions). The level of service could not even compare to Aloha Lending Services. I felt like I was being rushed by all of the banks. It was a total turnoff. Justin was patient with us every step of the way, took the time to explain each step in detail, and made great recommendations about getting the lowest possible interest rate and monthly payment. But most importantly, he was completely "on it" during the closing process. As a result, we were able to close - and get into our new home - over a week ahead of schedule. Highly recommended! Thank you Justin and Aloha Lending Services. read more

First let me say that our experience with Aloha Lending Services was AWESOME!! Me and my wife didn't know what to expect when going through any lending services. We always thought doing something like this was something that was going to be really stressful. Shannon Taparra was something else. The way that we were being helped and treated was unbelievable. They helped us in every way possible and you can truly see that. Shannon goes over everything in much detail, so that we know exactly what we are signing, without any loop holes. Working with Shannon was such a great experience, we suggest everyone go to Aloha Lending Services for all your lending needs. read more

Aloha Lending Services is the place to go to refinance! The rates dropped and we quickly called Shannon. Shannon and her team took us step by step through the process. Even with the pandemic, we were able to close and finalize. They were on top of it! We saved over $700 a month on our mortgage! Mahalo ALOHA LENDING SERVICES read more

If there were more stars, I would've selected it all! Shannon and her staff are always amazing and worked closely with us each step of the way with the re-financing of our home. Their communication was on point. We knew exactly what we needed to do and what each step was in order to re-finance our home. We look forward to many opportunities in the future to work with Aloha Lending Services! Thank you again for your excellent service! read more

I wish the star ratings go up to 10*, because Shannon, Lindsay and the whole team...were wonder women! The service was outstanding, they are always professional, courteous, and diligent. Shannon is quick with the numbers and right on the mark, and she will explain it to you as simple or as complex as you like; all with a smile on her face. Best of all she has an amazing family at home and treats her employees like family. I highly recommend Aloha Lending Services! read more

I was referred to Shannon and the Aloha Lending Services Ohana through my 101 Financial instructor. I couldn't be any happier with the service they provided me and my family through the refinancing process. They are very friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Anyone looking to buy a house, refinance, or even consolidate debt should definitely seek them out because they will do anything and everything and exhaust every single option available to get you to where you want to be! read more

Mahalo to Shannon and Lindsay for taking us to the finish line. The sellers attorney failed to notify escrow and myself that the necessary documents were filed and so we waited six months. Your patience and knowledge helped us to stay the course. We couldn't have done it without you and your team. It was a joy working with people who seem to genuinely care. May God bless and prosper your business. The Pennington Ohana. read more

Shannon and Lindsay are so awesome to work with! Starting with financing our forever home 2 years ago, we have since worked with Aloha Lending Services 2 more times for refinancing. Shannon always finds us the best rates and always guides us in the right direction. Shannon and Lindsay are so efficient and organized, it makes the refi process stress-free! COVID-19 certainly did not stop them from doing what they do best! Contactless communication and electronic signing was so easy and convenient! Thank you Aloha Lending Services! read more

Shannon and her team are, hands down, incredible professionals who get the job done. While the process did a little longer than anticipated due to the back-log with the bank we were dealing with, Shannon was an absolute "bull-dog" in getting us to the end and securing a highly competitive rate for our refi. Shannon and her team were fighters throughout the process and ensured we were getting the best deal possible. Family run and family owned, I never felt like the relationship was "transactional," but personal and very understanding to our needs. Added bonus that she is well versed in dealing with veterans and understands the nuisances in dealing with military families. I would definitely recommend Shannon and her team at Aloha Lending for pursuing mortgage options, to include REFIs. read more

Shannon and her folks are on top of it, this is the second time they have refinanced my mortgage and saved me significant money. This is my fifth house and by far the best and easiest financing and refi ever. I highly recommend Aloha Lending Services! read more

I was very happy to work with Shannon and her team. They were so careful and thorough with both my loans and I never felt any pressure. They guided me through all my questions and even after I closed the first time she was right there to answer my questions over a year later. This is a great company to work with and I know since I had tried others before this. They really care for you and it's always good to support local!! read more

We refinanced with Aloha Lending Services last year and were really satisfied with the service. So much so that we decided to go with them again when we decided to purchase our new home. At the time, the market was super crazy (around February of 2021). We requested multiple offers and each time, Shannon and her team were very responsive! No matter what time it was (we'd sometimes be on the phone past 9 pm during urgent situations), Shannon made sure we got what we needed. When we finally went into escrow, her team was very patient considering the complex situation. She even gave us great advice on how we can better save considering all the extensions we had to make. When it came down to it, Shannon and her team helped us through all the bumps on the road and we finally closed. Thank you Shannon! We will definitely be using your services again! read more

Aloha Kainoa and Raphael, What a great experience! Thank you so much for guiding us through this buying and investing process. We were nervous at first. However, you were really gracious, kind and knowledgeable and reassuring. Raphael's expertise was top notch! Such a great PR team! Your Aloha Lending Services team is quite remarkable and very professional! Special mahalo to Shannon for working diligently and continuing to work hard for us behind the scene to ensure every "i" was dotted and every "t" crossed! Amazing! The entire experience really put a smile on our faces and satisfaction in our hearts in knowing that you have our best interests at heart. We are blessed to have come to know you and your wonderful team! We excitedly look forward to continually learning more as investors! See you all soon! Have a beautiful day!

Shannon is the epitome of professionalism. Her knowledge and passion are clearly present in all aspects of her business dealings and her expertise shines through. Every transaction I have ever done with her has not only gone smoothly, but has demonstrated her efforts to constantly strive for customer satisfaction. This is the second time I have utilized Shannon Taparra for my home loan. First was when I purchased my home several years ago and now, for this refinance. We worked with Shannon to do a refinance on our house. She and her assistants, Hoku and Melanie, was great to work with and helped us along the process the whole time. She was able to find us a great rate and even better closing costs. She is the best there is and always goes above and beyond. Shannon and her team of assistants are phenomenal! From the initial intake paperwork until closing, this team, Shannon, Hoku, and Melanie, is right by your side to answer any questions, and to walk you through the mortgage process. Most importantly, there is not a MORE honest person to work with than Shannon. They are simply the best. I would highly recommend Shannon and her team to anyone looking for a new mortgage or refinance. read more

Thank you to Shannon and her team for helping us with our refinance and lowering our mortgage rate!! The process took about eight weeks from application to closing and Shannon and Melanie was always quick to respond when we had a question. We highly recommend Aloha Lending, Shannon and her team for your next refinance or mortgage assistance. We definitely will be using them in the future!! read more

I wish we could give 100 stars! We are so grateful for Shannon and her team! Everyone is welcoming and friendly and we felt like part of their family. Shannon really helped us find the best options for us financially and we were able to purchase our Forever Home. We had complicated transactions and there were so many bumps along the way due to COVID but Shannon knocked down every roadblock. We are so happy and satisfied with how everything turned out! Shannon and her team are so exceptional at what they do...look no further....choose Aloha Lending Services! read more

As a first Time home buyer both me and my significant other were completely novice at purchasing a new home. Shannon and her staff made the process easy and relatively stress free. Highly recommended. read more

We had just completed the refinance of our home with Shannon Taparra and her team at Aloha Lending Services. THANK YOU SHANNON, SHANEL & TEAM, awesome job again and we appreciate all of the support and communication to ensure that this process was really smooth and efficient. Shannon had assisted us originally when we first purchased our home, and we were truly impressed with her and the team that it was an automatic decision to use them again when it came time to refinance. We constantly refer our friends and family (which also just completed their refinancing), and the feedback is always the same....AMAZING!! We look forward to future business with the Taparra Team for our investment properties and will continue to refer everyone to this amazing team. So if you are looking to buy or refinance a home....Shannon and the team at Aloha Lending Services is definitely the place to go!!! Forever grateful, The Wong's read more
